pixxelkick , to Personal Finance in Salary Needed To Buy a Home In The US

median price home

So I nice mid life house…

Median price homes aren’t affordable, start home and median price home are mutually exclusive.

Median price home literally is going to be about the halfway point between a starter home and a fucking mansion

It boils my blood everytime I see these info dumps starting off with average or medium house prices.

That’s not a fucking starter home price.

It’s like looking at the median price of a car and then trying to say that cars aren’t affordable for your first car.

You don’t spend 20k to 30k in your first car, you buy near the bottom percentile as your starter. Your first car is like a fraction of the cost of the median.

<span style="color:#323232;">"In a moment I am going to ask you to generate a cover letter for me. However before that I want you to ask me any further questions that you need answered to help improve the quality of the output. My name is (name here), my address is (address), the company's address is (company address), and the job title is (job title).
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">This is the job posting:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(Paste the entire job posting here)
</span>

I have that whole thing in notepad filled out, copy paste the entire job posting in, then copy paste that whole thing to chatgpt.

It’ll then prompt you with a bunch of extra common questions you can answer to help flesh the cover letter out, you answer what you can, and it’ll generate.

Make sure to do a final pass cause it’ll hallucinate sometimes, and you can hit the regenerate button if needed if it hallucinated too bad.

Main hallucination to watch for is it just shoving extra facts in there that you didn’t supply. “I have an engineering degree” or whatever when you never told you you did lol.

Can’t relate. I work in software dev, and had to do a bout of job applications over a few weeks a bit ago.

Nearly every single job responded back asap confirming they got my application.

Most of the declines emailed me back to inform me they declined a week or two later.

I got several interviews, looking to asap connect.

Most were normal and standard process. One was way too many steps and wasted my time.

I got three offers tabled, and all were fine to give me a day or two to mull it over.i accepted the best offer and total was only unemployed for about 5 weeks total.

What I can say is hot damn has ChatGPT made the application process take like 1/10th the work lol

Did I make a simple little copy paste for chatgpt to quickly construct my cover letters? You bet your ass I did.

Did one job call me out on it? Yes they did. And they liked it and expressed that having someone who was comfortable using AI tools was actually a plus.

I sent out an LOT more than 20 applications though. I was averaging about 6 to 7 a day over 2 weeks, so prolly close to 120+ applications total.

Heyo!

Query: Have you tried out Kavita yet? It’s what I have started for self hosting my books/PDFs/etc, and there’s a lot of free open license books out there that you can bulk load onto it and have a whole library at your fingertips.

I believe there’s a way to integrate it with kindle as well?
